The light show was such a cool experience, very diverse
while incorporating light and New Media. I really liked getting to see New
Media in a setting outside of academics.. It was interesting to see some of
these displays and know that I've used some of the programs they used to execute
their installations. I watched a small band play in a performance hall with a
curtain of what looked like black spheres in front of them, the spheres were
close to each other yet far enough apart that you could see behind them to the
band. After a few minutes the curtain lit up and a silhouetted figure of light
walked across the curtain. Figures continued to walk across the curtain, going
along with the slow but urban feel that the band produced. The effect was
lovely yet simple, I’m curious if they might have used Isadora or something
similar to create it. Along with Isadora I feel like I could pinpoint other
programs like Processing and things I am currently learning to use being used
to produce these successful works of art.
The
show consisted of large scale projections such as on the side of buildings like
the Omni hotel and smaller displays such as the ones on walls under the The
Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe. A lot of the art was very
interactive which I think even drew non artists in. It was really encouraging
to see these pieces, to see the achievability and success of my chosen art
field.
